Come in and check out our new total knockout – a Metropolis Vintage exclusive collection of vintage boxing jackets. Soaked with the memories of action and the streets, these are now ready for your back. Mixing the heritage of the ring with the classic style of American sports wear, they work anywhere . . . and will keep you warm and stylish all New York winter. But, beware . . . Boxing vintage is for heavyweights only!

Introducing two recent rad METROPOLIS finds! Check out these vintage ’90s streetwear specimens – a colorful pair of classic PHILLIES BLUNT Jackets. These leather beauties were designed to cater to that fast-paced, hustle-driven lifestyle. Sparking in the 1990’s, they soon captured the attention of fashion insiders and fans, transcending the boundaries between casual wear and cuture. Completely eye-catching with cool design, and that’s not even mentioning the texture of the leather itself – its combination of softness and durability. Vintage doesn’t have to mean dated, and the beauty of a Phillies Blunt leather jacket is its adaptability. Whether you’re into the streetwear aesthetics or prefer more polished, these jackets can easily hit both boxes. The perfect balance of style, comfort, and cool.

We here at METROPOLIS VINTAGE love a good leather jacket. A well-fitting MC jacket is cool, timeless look iconicized by James Dean, The Ramones, and many others.  We’ve got a heavy rack of leather here in our store, only a few blocks away from the famous spot behind CBGB where The Ramones posed for the cover of their first LP. Although Johnny’s the only one rocking a true motorcycle jacket for that one. Fun fact: John Holmstrom of Punk Magazine and Ramones illustration fame recently designed our store logo. At any rate, stop by and slap on a classic leather motorcycle jacket before the weather gets cold. We strive to find all sizes, including smaller ones which are always in high demand and the quickest to fly off the shelves. Get tough!

The post Rev up with a vintage NASCAR RACING JACKET from METROPOLIS VINTAGE! first appeared on METROPOLIS VINTAGE N.Y.C..]]>

METROPOLIS VINTAGE is proud to present this amazing 1960’s BATES Leather Jacket!  Size 44! Recently unearthed and won’t last very long so snap this up while you still can!

JUST IN!  Quite a score – this 1960’s PERFECTO Motorcycle Jacket in amazing condition . . . . Size 44.

We’ve noticed one item making an unexpected comeback with the clientele in our store – MEN’S FRINGED JACKETS!  Dennis Hopper and John Voight both helped to popularize this look in films like Midnight Cowboy and Easy Rider, and you may have caught Stan from Mad Men rocking a sweet suede version this season.  Though it looks super cool, fringe originally served a purpose – letting rain drip off and getting the jacket to dry much faster.  You may not have any use for that if you thought ahead to bring an umbrella, but all that fringe will surely look cool swinging back and forth while you’re running from the ladies!

Check out some of her winnings.
